Exodus continues with: “And please help us welcome Rob Dukes back to Exodus! We are beyond stoked to have Rob back ripping up the stage with us and he’s looking forward to crushing everything like only he can. Next chapter begins, new record rolls along as planned and the beatings will continue.”

Souza joined Exodus as their lead vocalist in 1986 after previously fronting the band Legacy, which later became the metal band Testament. Prior to Souza, Keith Stewart and Paul Baloff performed for Exodus and the first Exodus record that Souza sang on was 1987’s Pleasures of the Flesh.
